Low-Calorie Chocolate Cake Recipe

Cupcakes are great and pies are wonderful, but sometimes you've just got to have an honest-to-goodness SLICE of CAKE... with FROSTING. Our new choco-rific recipe has exactly what you need (deliciously rich cake with an indulgently gooey topping) without all the stuff you DON'T need (excess calories and an obscene amount of fat). And the serving size is impressively LARGE. Let us eat cake... Ingredients: Topping 1 sugar-free chocolate pudding snack with 60 calories or less (like the kind by Jell-O) 1/3 cup chocolate frosting 2 tbsp. light chocolate syrup

PointsPlus® value 6* HG FYI: Some brands' cake mixes now come in smaller boxes... Make sure to grab an 18.25-oz. box for this recipe if you go by the half-box measurement.

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting, Average

Cake Out...

Seriously, is there anything more inviting than a cake with one missing slice? With a whole unsliced cake, there's always that "I can't, it's too pretty" phase. But that ends the second someone takes a knife to the thing. Once that first slice has been cut, it's pretty much open season -- only you're stuck choosing either a pitifully small slice with a reasonable calorie count OR a reasonably sized slice with way too many calories and fat grams. An average slice of chocolate cake with frosting contains 400-plus calories and more than 20 grams of fat! But there's nothing average about our recipe. Not only is our cake wonderfully moist and decadently choco-licious, but it's also frosted with an incredibly gooey concoction that you will fall in love with. (We know how to make a little bit of real frosting go a LONG way!) So accept that invitation -- grab a knife, cut a slice, and dig into the most decadent guilt-free cake this side of reality.
